$DOT teeters near its historical low of 1.72 USDT on December 25, 2025. With the Fear and Greed Index currently locked in Extreme Fear at 24 and the asset underperforming the global market by over 4 percent this week, the technical outlook remains intensely bearish. While the 50-day and 200-day moving averages signal a persistent downward trend, some analysts point to a budding bullish divergence on shorter timeframes and the recent approval of Hyperbridge as Polkadot's native bridge as potential catalysts for a recovery. Traders are watching the 1.70 level as the final line of defense before a potential freefall, while optimistic targets for a Q1 2026 relief rally eye a move back toward 2.30 USDT. The volatility stands at a sharp 8.78 percent, making this a pivotal make-or-break zone for the ecosystem as it attempts to reclaim its standing among top-tier altcoins.
